** Despite challenges at home and work, most working parents say being employed is what's best for them ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Roughly half of working parents say working makes it harder for them to be a good parent, and about as many say that at times they feel they can't give 100% at work. But despite these challenges, many working parents – including about 8-in-10 full-time working mothers – say their current employment situation is what's best for them ([link removed]) at this point in their life, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. Employed moms (50%) are more likely than employed dads (39%) to say being a working parent makes it harder for them to advance in their job or career.

** The American veteran experience and the post-9/11 generation ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

What it means to be a military veteran in the U.S. is being shaped by a new generation of service members, one that, according to a new study ([link removed]) from Pew Research Center, is more likely than its predecessors to have been deployed, served in combat and had difficulty with the transition to civilian life. Roughly half of post-9/11 veterans (47%) say they had emotionally traumatic or distressing experiences related to their military service, compared with 25% of veterans who served in previous eras. Further, about a third of post-9/11 veterans (36%) say, whether or not they sought professional help, they believe they suffered from post-traumatic stress.
